VH1 on Thursday announced the 15 drag
queens who will compete in the reality series' upcoming eleventh

“Just when I think to myself –
‘shedonealreadydonehadherses’ – a new crop of killer queens
sashay their way into my heart and leave me gagging for more,”
executive producer and three-time Emmy-winning host RuPaul Charles
said in a press release announcing season 11. “Dare I say, this
might be the most sickening season of all time.”

The 15 drag queens who will be
competing to win $100,000 and the coveted title of “America's Next

Las Vegas; Brooke Lynn Hytes from Nashville, Tennessee; Ariel Versace
from Philadelphia; A'Keria Channel Davenport from Houston; Scarlet

Vanessa Vanjie-Mateo, the first

A
new promo for the upcoming season teases that the contestants
will “go wig or go home.”
